What about Moscow Mitch, anyway?

Shouldnā€™t he be subject to some investigations of his own behavior by now?

67-33 isnā€™t a tie, though. Constitutionally, he canā€™t vote in that case. If he does anyway and the Republicans let him, thereā€™s really no point in paying attention to any of it anymore, because the rules are just what they say there are.

With the announcement that the next G7 will be at Trumpā€™s property itā€™s clear that they simply donā€™t care anymore about optics or the appearance of impropriety. Itā€™s as if to say ā€œweā€™re going to do everything illegal, unethical, and improper right in front of your face and thereā€™s nothing you can do about it.ā€ And so far, itā€™s working.

Trumpā€™s base doesnā€™t care as long as they feel like they are ā€œwinningā€ (whatever that means), his Republican cohorts are to frightened to do anything because they value power over principles, and the supposedly non-partisan judiciary has been heavily gamed in Trumps favor thanks to McConnellā€™s machinations during the Obama presidency.

Iā€™ve pretty much given up any hope of things ever getting better.

History shows, the pendulum always swings back. And sometimes it has a blade attached.

And I especially love the ā€œoh this is just how foreign policy worksā€ justification. Yes, itā€™s perfectly normal to say ā€œwe wonā€™t give your country foreign aid if you donā€™t <demand>ā€.

Itā€™s not normal when <demand> happens to be ā€œinvestigate the family of a political opponentā€.

For those who think Trump has gotten worseā€¦this is how he was before heā€™d even started office:

Then Trump turned back to me. ā€œSo why is it so broken? The VA.ā€

ā€œWell, there are many reasons, starting with ā€” ā€

ā€œI think we need to let the veterans go wherever they want.ā€

ā€œWell, there needs to be a coordinated effort ā€” ā€

ā€œIā€™ll tell you what: weā€™re going to fix this thing. If you were in charge, what would you do first?ā€

ā€œI would make sure that we had ā€” ā€

ā€œDo you think we can fix this thing?ā€

ā€œYes, Mr. President-Elect, I do.ā€

We went on like this for another 30 minutes or so while the others wandered in and out.

I wonder if heā€™ll be next on the chopping block.

I think weā€™ve reached the point in this timeline where, worn thin by Trumpā€™s constant use of the Stupidity Drive, other realities begin to bleed into our own.

I wouldnā€™t have guessed that mittens would be the first GOP senator to remember where he left his spine.

I was thinking that if Trump wins again, but the democrats have the house and the senate, it will be time to just wallow in corruption. Like pass bills enacting laws you want that also just give Trump cash. Like the Medicare for All and $50M for Trump Act. You can write right in the law that this payment is not considered a bribe and is exempt from any other law or ethics rules. And if the Republicans complain that itā€™s corrupt, just say, ā€œYes it is!ā€

I would have, actually. Iā€™m not a fan of the Mormon faith, but thereā€™s no doubt it does instill a strong sense of morality that would be hard to shake.
